2-Allowance Authorization Release Form.pdf.pdf

This is an Allowance Authorization Release (AAR) form from Hillsborough County, Florida's Engineering & Operations Department, used to document authorized changes to an existing contract. The form serves as an administrative tool to track modifications to contract work, allowing the contractor to perform additional or revised work as directed by the county. The AAR includes fields for identifying the specific contract number, bid number, cost impact days, and a detailed description of the allowance work to be performed. The document requires signatures from both the contractor and county representatives, including the department director and procurement services approval, with copies distributed to relevant county departments including the Chief Administrative Officer's office and Fiscal & Administrative Support Section.

The AAR form tracks financial impacts associated with contract modifications, requiring documentation of the allowance amount, total previous AAR costs, remaining balance available, and any time extensions needed for the authorized work. By executing this document, the contractor waives any claims to additional time extensions or monetary compensation beyond what is explicitly authorized in the AAR itself. The form is designed to maintain fiscal control over contract changes while establishing clear documentation of all approved modifications, their costs, and impacts to the overall project budget and schedule. This administrative process ensures accountability and prevents disputes over unauthorized or unapproved contract changes on Hillsborough County projects.
